One oddity from the weekend is that she did 5-milers with Mantz and Young at like 7:30 pace. Yes, that should be easy for her. But if that's the right pace for Mantz and Young three days before a marathon, it's not the right pace for her, however easy it felt.
This is just silly. Yes, it's a faster relative pace for her than it is for Mantz and Young. No, it's not the "wrong" pace for any of them. It's an incredibly easy run for all of them. There's no real difference between running 2:10/mile slower than marathon pace and 2:45/mile slower than marathon race pace.
